[blparent] Baby names (Duggars)

[Tammy]

Hi,

I watch the show as well when I can and I like it.  I wouldn't choose to 
raise so many children and I wouldn't do some of the things they do but I'm 
sure people would say the same about my parenting choices, and things i do. 
but the show is very genuine,  and them sharing the story of them llosing 
little Jubilee was emotional and very well done.  I wasn't sure about how 
they handled it when I first heard about it, but times like that are so very 
hard, and the way they did handle it was the right way for them in the end. 
I thought they were all very brave to share that on national television.

I know families with far less children and they give their children similar
responsibilities. I'm not saying I agree, but it is a style of parenting
that some take as the way. Some of what you are seeing also is how some
homeschoolers do things in addition to having so many children. I enjoy the
show when I actually watch it.

Hi,

I think you'd have to have some sort of buddy system if you had 19 kids to
keep everything running smoothly.  but I agree about the responsibility
aspect, and I've always felt sorry for the youngest kid before Josey, Jordan
is her name, because at the time when she really needed her mummy she had to
settle for an older sibling which I didn't think was fair.  Then Josey was
born and had al those health problems, and both mum and baby almost lost
their lives, so I wondered why they'd want to try to have another child
after a big scare like that?  But like Jo Elizabeth said though, they didn't

ask me.   lol  I just don't like some of the ways they do things, they seem
irresponsible to me.  If you want to have 20 kids that's fine but don't then
give your older kids duties that should be yours as parents.  It's not fair
to then, they're still children too.

>From what  I've seen of the Duggars, unfortunately, the older kids take an
enormous amount of responsibility for the younger ones.  The mom always
talks about how they're on a "buddy system" where an older kid is
responsible for a younger one, and it rotates each day to help them all form
relationships with each other.  The older one gets the little one dressed,
and they have a big chore chart, where the older one has to sign off on his
or her chores, and also the chores of their "buddy" for the day.  The older
one can't sign off on the younger one till the chore is done right, even if
that means pitching in and helping.  I'm not sure it's fair to the older
siblings, but hey, they didn't ask me.

They lost Baby #20 not long ago.  She was a girl, lost at twenty weeks or
so, when an ultrasound showed no heartbeat.  They had a funeral and burial.
Just because we're talking about names, she would have been Jubilee Shalom.

The Duggars rub me the wrong way because the mom brags a ton about how they
live debt free.  But the television station that airs their show bought them
a house, and they've all got free healthcare because the dad was a
government employee, state or federal, I can't remember.  If I had a free
house and free insurance, I could probably live free of debt, too.

Enough venting, I suppose.
